It's always bugged me that the fancy new TFT screen as fitted to all 2010 model year onwards could not display MPH or KPH as needed You can select the displayed units in the trip computer settings which turns on a digital display in the centre of the speedo to show KPH and the total miles also changes to Kilometres which I guess is a help but I feel Land Rover have missed an opportunity

Anyway sometime ago whilst playing with my Faultmate MSV-2, amongst other small CCF tweaks, I discovered that I could permanently turn on this digital display to show MPH and when I changed the trip units to KPH the digital display and total miles still changed as previously the main speedometer stayed in miles though

This has been a useful addition but with an impending trip to France next month still not the perfect solution, so today I revisited this niggling issue with the main intention to experiment by editing the CCF to change the main display from MPH to KPH for the duration of the trip and then change it back upon my return. In the CCF for the main units display there are the options for MPH, KPH or Reserved but what I hadn't noticed was a forth option for KPH/MPH (as trip) - ooh I thought could this be the solution so a quick rewrite of the CCF and BINGO it does exactly what it should

My main speedometer now displays MPH plus the digital MPH units in the centre with trip and total miles but if I change the trip units from MPH to KPH the main speedometer changes to KPH as does the digital display and the trip and totals - Perfect

Come on Land Rover this is how it always should have been as standard

I'm on to it now, whilst driving home last night I changed the trip units from miles to kilometres in the normal way using the steering wheel controls which gave me the main KPH dials plus the smaller digital display as KPH too, which was actually slightly disconcerting as I entered a 30 zone So what I have decided to do is set the smaller digital display to MPH all the time rather than "as trip" which means that regardless of the MPH or KPH trip settings I will always have a small MPH display to refer too

Is there a way to upload a small video clip here?

That is very cool, thanks for the tip  MY 2010 5.0 SC Galway green and sand interior!!
Have the Faultmate MSV2 Extreme to be tinkering with the settings etc. !!

Ajay I read in another of your posts that you were going to list the tweaks you can do in the CCF. Have you got round to listing these yet?

i've tried Andy's instructions but i cant get kph on the main dial and mph on the digital number readout..
the best i can get is mph/mph and kph/kph by selecting the units on the car menu...

has anyone done this with an iidtool and can let know me how to please..

Dumb question but can you only have digital speed readout set with an iid?
